True true. I think 3.6-3.7 on a E6750 would be nice. But I also think that 3.6 on a Quad would be better in the long run. I only plan on air cooling though. I'll lap the cooler heat sink and chip most likely.
I'm lookin to run the Gigabyte GA-X38-DS4, 2x2GB Gskill 1000mhz F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ, Vista ult 64 bit system (maybe XP64 bit), crossfire 3870s, 850watt PSU, 2 HDDs, TV tuner card for recording, 1900x1200 monitor.
with those components I think I have a lot of options on how to overclock my setup. With minor details a few are:
- To be somewhat safe do 3600Mhz I think 450 fsb with 8x multiplier and 1:1 ratio for memory at 900Mhz 5-5-3-12 should be fine on either the Q6600 or the E6750.. . I've read/seen the performance differance b/t 900mhz mem and 1066 and it's not that much, maybe 0.5% more capable.
- More darring = 3675, 525mhz 7x mult at 1:1, 1050 mem at 5-5-5-12T
- 5:6 on the Q6600 at 416fsb 9x multi would give me 1000mhz on the button.
here is a thread where a bunch of people are acheiving 1000mhz pluss on this Gskill 2x2Gb memory http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2517286#post2517286
Just filed my taxes!! $2800 aaaahahahahaha. not including the $800 refund all of us citizens are suppose to be getting later in the year.
This board will be mine here shortly!! Can't wait!!
So, I'm "all in" for Gigabyte's GA-X38-DS4 board when low and behold, I see they now have a GA-EX38-DS4. This happened today??? Can anyone tell me the difference... PLEASE?
Heh, see my thread is still bubbling to the top every now and then.
I have two seperate 50mm fans on my "wishlist" at several different vendors, with no success yet. So it's still cruising along with an 80mm fan keeping it all cool.. And doing an excellent job with my E8400 at 482FSB at all-stock MCH volts with timings at 4-4-4-10 at tRd 7.
Getting mine tomarrow!
So you think i should place an order for a 50mm fan for the NB? i plan on running it @ 450fsb as long as i get a good chip

I was really excited about this thread, but then I noticed something...
1) OP posts some amazing numbers about board 'X'
2) A bunch of folks post in this thread claiming they ordered board 'X' based on OP's amazing results.
3) Noone is posting a followup on their OC results.
4) OP is banned...
Was he banned for falsifying his numbers? Have any of you guys managed to reproduce his results with this board?
I hope I'm wrong because this board looks like my best option right now. (Intel has pushed the X48 release date to mid-march)
